Re: The Official Atwood collectors thread.

Sheez, after seeing some of the pics/collections you guys have, my measly SS whistle, lefty PryBaby XL and Electric Blue Area 51 Keyton seem like a humble collection. Too humble to warrant a pic, so I think I'll stick my head back in the sand until I have a few more....

Good people need to be there for each other. It's the only way to stay sane in a sometimes insane world.

Re: The Official Atwood collectors thread.

I just received this as a gift from Peter. He knew that I've been looking for a original Prybaby for a year now and he said this one came from the second or third batch! I don't know what else to say but:

Thank you Peter!

I was even more lucky because he found this while he was cleaning his shop and my guess is there aren't too many in this size! Sorry for the bad photo!

Thanks! That is the one piece that I wanted more than anything because of the history. Now I just have to find a person willing to part with a prototype Prybaby. My understanding is that there were only 24 of them made!

Re: The Official Atwood collectors thread.

Great pics, powernoodle!

Good luck on finding a proto, GG. I lucked into a prototype of Benchmade's 730CFHS a few years ago, almost a year after they had gone into production for a limited run of only 500 knives. It was NIB and I got it for SRP, to boot. As daunting a task as it may seem, one may be out there waiting for you.

Thanks! The sad part is that the people who have them probably don't know what they have!

Re: The Official Atwood collectors thread.

I just managed to get in before the few last MiniSOPTs were snaffled.
What a perfectly cute and robust critter it is!!
And Peter was really helpful and prompt and... what more can I say? The whole experience of purchasing one of his tools gives a more valuable feel to it, and Geeeeez - that tiny edge is sharp

Thanks for this thread Powernoodle - without it I wouldn't have discovered Peter's tools, and would've had to find a probably less-purposeful reason to further deplete my wallet.
